Shirley Williams and Moo have been partners for eight years now.
Originally, Moo was bought as an eight-year-old by Shirley’s daughter, Tanya Sellers, but now, at 25, he’s all Shirley’s!
And speaking of Moo… where do we even begin?
Oh, Moo. The legend. The myth.
The most opinionated, stubborn, bomb-proof, husband-horse, trail-riding extraordinaire this barn has ever seen.
Kicked out of hunt fields? Check
Eliminated from events? Check
Barges through stadium jumps as if they owe him money? Check
Guardian of every mare on the property, like it’s his sworn duty? Check
But put him on a trail… and he transforms into the best horse ever created. Truly unmatched.
For the past eight years, he has toted Shirley around with so much patience and has been game for everything. And over the last few months, Shirley has been taking lessons specifically to prepare for this ride.
